Relationship between female androgenetic alopecia and serum lipid levels

Is There Really Relationship between Androgenetic Alopecia and Metabolic Syndrome?

Background. There are several studies investigating the relationship between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and metabolic syndrome (MS) with conflicting results. Objective. We sought to investigate whether there is a relationship between AGA and MS. Methods. A case-control study including 74 male patients with AGA and 42 male controls was conducted. Age, duration of AGA, AGA onset age, anthropomet...

Is there any relationship between cardiovascular disease and androgenetic alopecia in men and women?

Background: Worldwide, coronary heart disease is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity. Although numerous studies have documented the relationship between male pattern baldness and cardiovascular disease (CVD), few studies focused on this association in women. This study intended to evaluate the relationship between coronary artery disease and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in ...

Androgenetic Alopecia

Relationship between relative body weight and serum lipid levels.

A relationship between blood lipid levels and adiposity has been suggested by several workers. For example, Gofman and Jones (1952) observed a good positive correlation between obesity and levels of the Sf 35-100, and, to a less extent, the S' 12-20 plasma-lipoprotein fractions; they found a low-grade correlation between obesity and cholesterol levels. Lewis et al. (1957) also found the positiv...

Relationship between Serum Calcitonin Levels and Osteoporosis in Female Patients Aged 40-70 Years

Background and purpose: Osteoporosis is a general skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone mass over the years, bone fractures, decreased bone strength, and consequently increased bone fragility and fracture susceptibility. There is paucity of information about the effect of calcitonin on osteoporosis in Iran. The current study aimed at investigating the relationship between serum calci...

Inflammation in androgenetic alopecia

Years of research have led to the conclusion that androgenetic alopecia may be a result of an alteration in the hair growth cycle and/or a premature aging of the pilosebaceous unit. The etiology of androgenetic alopecia has been defined as multifactorial or even polygenic in nature. The fact that the success rate of treatment with either antihypertensive agents or modulators of androgen metabol...
